lyrics

PARTNER IN CRIME

Hands in the dress up box
Feathers everywhere
Lipstick kisses on the mirror
Glitter in our hair

Dancing to the songs we had to know
Taping them off of the radio
You’d push pause and I’d scribble down a verse
So we could learn the words and sing them at school
Yep, we were pretty cool.

Seems so long ago that you and I, we shared our lives
For so many years, we would laugh and we would fight
But you and I, we were a team
And there was no amount of grounding
That could get in the way of you being by my side
As my partner in crime

Sleeping in the yard
To sneak out in the middle of the night
I would skate and you would ride your bike
Bandits born to ride.

Racing like we made some great escape out
To meet the other kids at the round about
Feeling like the kings of our home town
We’d both have been dead if our parents found out.
Well, I guess that they’ll know now.

We grew up and years ran away
We didn’t see each other everyday
And the photos of your happy head
Turned to photos of you in the hospital bed
And before I knew it, you’d slipped away
We never got to chat about the good old days
But I hope you knew
I looked up to you
And not just because I was smaller and I had to.

One day I’ll tell your little boy of how we shared our lives
Of all the mischief that was made with you by my side
Of how when my parents split, you sat with me and cried.

And maybe we’ll reunite in the next life
You’ll be by my side again my partner in crime.
